The police aren't a part of the community they serve, it's explicitly trained into them to treat every situation as "us" vs "them". If "they" have rifles then "we" need armored vehicles.

Edit: to be very clear, I am not in support of police militarization.

They said clear text, I would assume it's not https.

Are you using the clear urls filter list? Copied another post in this thread:

You can replace ClearURLs with a filter list for uBlock Origin. Less CPU resources used.

Edit: idk how to link to the post on lemmy.world or if I'm just dumb but I grabbed a kbin.social link to the post.

That's what I'm hoping for actually. I have an email with forwarding set up but the backup is to another email I don't have access to. I want to make a new account with my own old email. I know it's probably a bad idea.

When someone just says cleartext, I assume they mean transmission too.

I'll probably make a professional identity alongside my personal identity. So two total. Yeah.
